This baby is growing up fast! He was grazing on apples, mother no where in sight. This was taken at the "Magic Grow Gardens" property on our road, five minutes from our lane. Just the other day, this young one and his mother were eating the broccoli in my newest garden and later I saw signs they'd nibbled away on the pea vines that are still growing in spite of the cold and wet weather

Pea Pods

This is a small, quick painting of some of the last peas of the season from my garden. With the recent downpours, all will be moldy and ready to be yanked out soon. They were sure good while they lasted. My trellises looked like the crazy webs of spiders on acid, but next year they'll be better, like Betty's!

There are so many more images of tomatoes than peas on the Web. Those reds are irresistible.

Stripped and Naked

Rainbow carrots fresh from the garden--I was surprised to see the big red one was orange under the skin. They went into the Boeuf Bourguignon that I, like thousands of others, prepared after seeing the film "Julie and Julia."

Hubbard Squash and Friends

I just rediscovered the built in camera on my laptop. But the pictures turn out mirror image. Does anyone know how to turn them around?

The other title for this painting is "Waiting for the Cleaver". A group of innocent beings huddled together for comfort, trusting that all is well, oblivious to the clandestine deal-making going on in private meetings that will ultimately slice 'em and dice 'em for continuing corporate profits.
